Thesis

"Travis Bickle is a modern, urban Don Quixote; his taxi is his Sancho Panza. Vice is his windmill, Iris his damsel, and the gun his joust. Both knights errant live in fantasy worlds driven by popular 'romantic' fictions."

This is, anyways, something Fakespeare has been piping my way recently. I'm not sure what to make of it. Genius? Tenable? Obvious? Preposterous?

I think you could probably add fr. Christopher steck s.j.(at Georgetown) to the list of orthodox jesuits. Although, I guess you might want to see if you can verify this. Here is an article he wrote on href="http://www.americamagazine.org/gettext.cfm?articleTypeID=1&textID=4291&issueID=538">Balthasar
